Creating the perfect felted upright piano takes time, perseverance and four layers of vertical felt!
Upright pianos have always been a popular instrument for conveying sensitive and intimate textures in production. Ranging from singer/songwriter material, to televisual scoring, the place of the upright is secure. However, this domain has been infiltrated in recent years, by the use of felts, creating an even softer and more intimate texture.
Upright and Verticale
The name Verticale is associated with the name given to upright pianos in Italy. The package itself constitutes a perfectly formed Kontakt instrument, which is NI library compliant, providing two patches; a natural upright piano, alongside a felted version of the same instrument. Unusually, and in something of a first, the felted iteration uses four layers of felt, rather than what would be the more usual single or double layers.
